Timewarp

Timewarp has specific set limits: your Timewarp speed must be at minimum 66% of 1.5x speed for Double Time*, and NO Timewarp with nomod.

With the most Common Clients, This would be:

AQN: 100 with DT osu!rx: .66 with DT Maple: 100 With DT (Rate), .66 With DT (Multiplier) Ainu & Ainu Based Clients, eg. (Skooter, Abypass): .66 With DT

Aim Correction/Aim Assist:

Below listed are the HIGHEST allowed settings and/or whether or not the cheat is allowed for each of the most common aim assist tools for osu!. If your cheat is not listed, ask a moderator.

Here are more details:

Ainu/hq.af’s “SAVE ME” is allowed (no limit);

MPGH’s default AC is allowed;

Skooter’s AC is allowed; Its Strength must be at or below 60, but can only be a whole number. values like 58.2 and 51.1 are *not allowed.

osu!buddy’s AA is allowed; but must be equal to or below the following settings. Strength: 11 Aim Start Distance: 666

Kat’s AA is allowed; Its Strength cannot exceed 1.5x.

Timewarp:

As Previously Mentioned: your Timewarp speed must be at minimum 66% of 1.5x speed for Double Time*, and 1x speed for everything else.

For AQN/Maple, That’s: 100 With & Without DT.

For osu!rx, That’s: 1.0 With & Without DT.

Flashlight:

FL Removers are allowed, but only in certain circumstances. If a map’s difficulty is higher than 7 Stars After Mods, (Meaning If you apply a mod and the star rating goes above 7 stars), you cannot use flashlight remover.

Multiple Cheats:

You can’t now have more than ONE cheat instance/client open at the same time. this also applies to combining cheats. doing so, you will be banned.

The only exception for this rule is combining osu!rx (V1 or V2) with Kat’s AA/any kind of Aim assist that doesn’t have timewarp & relax.

Score modifiers:

Score multipliers, as well as any mods that modify your results (accuracy, miss counts…) are prohibited.

CS modifiers:

CS modifiers may only be set to 1 below the original CS of the map (after mods).

Here are more details:

For NoMod plays: Default CS - 1 (eg. CS4 -> CS3); For HR plays: Default CS - 0.77 (eg. CS4 -> CS3.23); For EZ plays: Default CS - 2 (eg. CS4 -> CS2).

These values must be applied to the map AFTER MODS ARE APPLIED. To check the CS, turn off your CS changer, reload the map and check in the top left corner where it says “CS: xxx AR: xxx OD: xxx”

Other Important Notes:

For Ainu users, make sure the client you use was downloaded on MPGH, the Skoot.er Discord server or the Ainu Xheaters Discord server, otherwise it contains prohibited features.

Things like: Relax hacks, AR Changers, Enlighten (Un-HD), and other stuff that wasn’t listed in the hacking rules ARE ALLOWED. You can also ask one of the staff members if you still need clarification.

Specific Gamemodes Rules

CTB:

Hyperwalk maps are not allowed.

Moderation policy

Unlike other infractions, we have a fixed moderation policy for hacking rules. If you get caught breaking any of the Hacking Rules, it will result in a wipe of your account’s scores if you cannot prove you weren’t breaking the rules.

After 3 wipes, your account will be BANNED, not restricted. This means we’ll never ban someone at their first wipe, other than for the Skoot.er AC rule and Multiple cheat client’s rules.

You may appeal 1 month after your restriction unless you judge you haven’t been restricted for a legitimate reason.

If you want to appeal, you may email us at accounts@kawata.pw.
